When writing up Twi The Humble Feather I noted the New York crew would inevitably “wear Animal Collective comparisons like bruises” but that it’s far more interesting to “look beyond the patterns of their chanting falsettos to the differences.” Like, for instance, lending “Higher Than The End,” the opening track from the band’s five-song debut Music For Spaceships And Forests (and, now, Beer) to a Heineken ad fronted by John Turturro. Animal Collective has never done this.
Sharp ad. Too bad Heineken sucks. As those who can read signs will note: The commercial was shot at Village Vanguard, NYC. The band depicted is not Twi.
Take it with you:
Music For Spaceships And Forests is out via Friendly Ghost. For those in the NYC area, Twi are playing the Stone 2/5 (Thurs).

I wish there were more things for this guy to do on TV.
Is John Turturro Asian?
Is that Ray Romano?
no
I caught the twi song in the heinekin ad and was rally surprised. good for them, maybe that commercial will bankroll a full LP.
Twi the Humble Feather has a sound like no other. I recognized it right away.
congratulations, you win.
nobody fucks with the jesus.
